Happy Friday! Here’s what I was up to this past week.

How I Earned Money This Week

I held a workshop at the Lemon Collective this Wednesday. We had a great turnout!
We had two Airbnb guests this week.

As you probably saw last week, my husband and I got a puppy over the weekend! We’ve named him Bruno and he’s adorable and sooo much work. We’re quickly learning how easy it is to spend lots of money on a puppy. On Monday, we took him to his first wellness exam at the vet, which cost $99, including the price of one vaccine.
We also signed Bruno up for pet insurance through Healthy Paws. We paid for his first month’s premium on Monday.
We bought Bruno a new leash because the one we had bought was too heavy and would distract him whenever it touched his back. We also ordered him a stuffed animal to cuddle and play with while he’s locked in his pen while I’m working. We ordered him 6 months worth of heartworm and tick/flea prevention medication. (Again, pets are expensive!)
We went grocery shopping on Sunday and were charged for our Hungry Harvest box from last week.
We paid the remaining balance for our new privacy fence. Luckily, we have that money already set aside in savings.

This week, I wrote about the financial impacts of having a period.

Starting Monday, March 11th, I’ll be part of a week-long video series called “Rewrite Your Money Story”. Sign up to tune in!
On Tuesday, March 12th, I will be at Mindspace leading a workshop called Making & Breaking the Budget. If you struggle with creating and sticking to a budget, this one is for you!
On Wednesday, March 27th, I’ll be hosting Money Circle. We’ll be joined by personal style coach, Allison Hamilton-Rohe, since our topic is: How To Create a Powerful Personal Style On A Budget.
I want to hear from you! As I am continuing to create blog content and expanding my work into online courses, a podcast, and more workshops, I want to make sure I’m creating things that are useful to YOU. I’ve made a survey for my clients and readers to hear about what you most want to learn about. Fill it out here!
